I don’t know. I reckon that if you took out the artistic parts, you’d actually get the peak to skew older: part of the reason why figure skaters and gymnasts, especially women, tend to peak so early is that there’s a deeply ingrained expectation that they have a certain youthful, lithe look that gets harder in late…

I think in football, at least in skill/speed positions like CB, RB and WR, the peak seems to be around 20 or 21. Guys with monster combine numbers rarely get close to that level after a few years in the NFL. I remember when they had the ‘veteran FA combine’ a few years ago and like every single guy who went had…

Except they literally do know better. He says “If she was 18, you wouldn’t be ashamed to say that she’s a little hot piece of ass.” but then he goes ahead and says it anyway, without any shame.

One year ago today, we adopted our dog from a rescue organization. I had not had a dog since I was about 10 years old but we figured our kids (then 10) should also have a dog. It would be good for them, I told myself. I didn’t really want a dog, I told myself... and I really didn’t... until we brought him home. Now I…

Maybe hyperbole but not ridiculous. Just one more stop in a game that had no stops. I hate that Rowe is getting killed. He is a nice player. But he had a rough game and Butler is that much better. I think Butler has shown he can make a big play. You don’t think he makes one more big play (or even a medium-sized play)…
